CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati Director of Athletics John Cunningham announced on Wednesday that Head Baseball Coach Scott Googins has stepped down after six seasons at the helm of the Bearcats. 

"I want to thank Coach Googins for his time and commitment to the Bearcats," said Cunningham.  "We have begun a national search for a new head coach, and we are excited about the future of Cincinnati baseball."
